The 2017 TWB 100 Slow Release: 1-25

Image
Riddle kicking off the TWB 100 today, BRO Photo Credit: Scott Finkelstein I decided against dragging this out for another week, so the top five will be introed with the rest of the top 25. Sorry! Anyway, the final entries on the list are below. THE SUSPENSE MUST BE KILLING YOU. 25. Matt Riddle Points: 968 Number of Ballots: 13 Highest Vote: 2nd Place (Chris Gibbons, Dylan Hales) Last Year�s Ranking: 27th Place TH: The drawback of Riddle getting more comfortable in wrestling and gaining influence over his creative is his bad habits are starting to come out. That being said, warts and all, he's still an enjoyable watch no matter what the setting, and the floor for his matches is always at least "watchable," with a near infinite ceiling, even against dudes you wouldn't expect like Dan Severn. Chris Gibbons: It�s strange that Riddle seems to have lost a bit of his luster in 2017 for some, because his in-ring work was just as good if not better than his incredible ro...

Pro Wrestling SKOOPZ on The Wrestling Blog: Vol. 4, Issue 3

Reigns on the sauce? Photo Credit: WWE.com WELL, WELL, WELL, it's another week of wrestling, so it's another week of NEWS NEWS AND MORE NEWS. And who's here to deliver said news? THAT'S RIGHT, it's HORB FLERBMINBER, and I am BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. Everyone who disbelieved my news report on Randy Orton developing the gout WILL PAY. That means you, Todd Martin! And everyone who discredited me after I said it was John Cena who had a 13-inch penis when it was actually Rey Mysterio, THEY DID A RECOUNT, AND CENA'S HOG WAS 12.88 INCHES LONG, WHICH ROUNDS UP TO 13. So eat me. Additionally, you can follow me on Twitter, and hell, you SHOULD follow me on Twitter, @HorbFlerbminber . If you don't, I will hunt you down and explain evolution to your children. And if you're one of those sciency people, I'll explain creationism to them. I AM AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY OFFENDER. Also, you can order back issues of the newsletter. I'd tell you where to get them, but hone...

The 2017 Bloggie Awards

Image
The Wrestler of the Year! Photo Credit: WWE.com It's that time of year again, when I give out my awards for the best stuff to happen in wrestling in a calendar year. The Bloggie Awards are back, baybay! Before I start, a primer on what the Bloggies are and aren't: The Bloggies are NOT a measure of who drew money or drove business. Look to the Observer for that scope. The Bloggies are NOT a measure of kayfabe accomplishment. Pro Wrestling Illustrated has that covered like a boss. The Bloggies are NOT crowd-sourced or openly voted upon. They're chosen by me and me alone, so if anyone has a problem, take it up with me. The Bloggies ARE a measure of who did the most to advance the ART of wrestling. Who told the best stories? Who talked with the silverest of tongues? Who wrestled the best matches? Who had the biggest emotional impact? These are the questions that these awards have set out to answer. And now, the awards, with nominees and winners! Wrestler of the Year - This is ...

It Was Triple H with the Shovel in the Main Event: WWE Survivor Series 2017 Review

Image
Everything wrong with WWE in one picture Photo Credit: WWE.com Two TH-Style reviews in one day. Not bad. Highlights: The Shield defeated New Day with a second-rope triple powerbomb on Kofi Kingston. Asuka was the sole survivor in the women's traditional five-on-five match, last eliminating Tamina Snuka with the Asuka Lock. Baron Corbin hit an End of Days OUT OF NOWHERE on The Miz to pick up the win. The Usos went over The Bar HOSS International with a splash on Sheamus. Charlotte Flair made Alexa Bliss tap out to the Figure Eight. Brock Lesnar countered a Phenomenal Forearm from AJ Styles into the F5 for the win. Triple H and Braun Strowman were the survivors for the RAW team in the main event five-on-five match. Triple H last eliminated Shane McMahon with a pedigree after hitting Kurt Angle with a pedigree and putting McMahon on top of him. After the match, Strowman beat the ever-loving shit out of Trips. General Observations: I just wanna say that even though I own his breakout ...
